Hub doctor is too expensive and he does not post to SA, here is a cheap permanent fix. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bike-hubs/642596/mavic-hubs-fts-l-fix-to-the-play-in-the-hub

Howzit Cippo I have the 2011 / 2012 R-Sys wheels, and I picked up what sounded like metal sound (I won't say grinding but almost metal on metal) clicking, rubbing now and then. Freewheeling the hub sounded like a terrible vibration rubbing noise when picking up speed like on a downhill. And then vanished when I pedalled, so I summed it to be something with the hub. Called Dragon Sports and they said it could be the spokes with the clicking sound, maybe the tension on some caused, plus many more of what it could be, to replacing the FTS hub completely to rebuilding the wheel which they did not have the spokes for. Overwhelmed by the fact that its gonna cost big bucks without them mentioning it. I stripped the hub, and saw that one of the pawls had come lose. I reattached gave it a service, but that is when I picked up that my hub had play. Did some digging and found the HubDoctor regarding these Mavic hubs which are problematic. That fix was way to expensive and he did not post to SA. I found this cheap alternative. I little knuckle work and my problem was sorted. Wheels have absolute no play and the pawls have not given me any issues since. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bike-hubs/642596/mavic-hubs-fts-l-fix-to-the-play-in-the-hub Mavic just made a terrible nylon bush which wears over time within the hub.

Here is th link on BH. I have decided to market these for the owner. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bike-hubs/642596/mavic-hubs-fts-l-fix-to-the-play-in-the-hub

Howzit Meeza, I fitted this bush into my 2012 Mavic R/Sys wheels. No regrets. For the price of a new Vesonite bush R300 versus a hub hub and the cost tof fitting, give it a try. Hubdoctor is just madness with the price and they don't post to SA.

Go guys....Make us proud.
